About
Ylenia Crocetto is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and cognitive rehabilitation, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative conditions. Her work centers on developing and evaluating bio-cooperative robotic systems that enhance patient engagement and therapeutic outcomes. Crocetto’s most notable contribution is her involvement in the OPERA project, where she co-authored the seminal paper “Preliminary User-Centred Evaluation of a Bio-Cooperative Robotic Platform for Cognitive Rehabilitation in Parkinson’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment.” This study introduced the PRoBio platform, which integrates a service robot with virtual reality to create adaptive, user-centered rehabilitation experiences. Although recently published (2025), the work has already garnered citations, reflecting its timely importance in addressing the rehabilitation needs of the growing population with Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment. Crocetto’s research is distinguished by its user-centered methodology, incorporating focus groups and living lab settings to ensure real-world applicability. Her contributions are paving the way for more engaging, effective, and personalized rehabilitation technologies, making her a rising voice in assistive robotics and neurorehabilitation.
